Goofy question about daily water intake?

Acidique

Heya,

I feel like a dork, but I figure it's better to ask and know for sure than continue to wonder. Hah. In my food log there's a place for water, and of course it suggests I drink eight cups a day.

So my question is: does it mean eight literal cups? As in I can measure out eight cups like I would if I were baking? Or does it mean eight glasses of water, which would be more than one cup per glass?

Thanks ahead,

Acidique

It goes by cups - 8oz of water. I use a big water bottle - holds 24oz, and every time I empty it, I log three glasses of water.

So one cup of water equals 8 oz?

1 cup=8 fluid ounces.

Concentrate on half your weight in ounces of water....8 cups would mean I weigh 128...I WISH

I have a 1 liter jug. I keep filling it up throughout the day but it helps me keep track. I try to drink 3-5liters daily.

I also have a 1 liter bottle. I drink at least 2 per day.....that's my least amount I need to get in. Most days I drink at least 3.

Set goals. I try to have one liter finished by the time lunch comes around. I try to down another before going to the gym. I WILL get the 3rd one down at the gym for the day.
